Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #361

Hello friends!

Party time!  This card is so fun and festive!  How cute is that pompom trim? A quick hint when adding some pompoms - I attach the trim at the back of the card front, but then I trim off the pompom part so it still lays flat! I'm almost done with my Summer SCT Sampler - it's crazy how many cards you can create from them. 

I've been playing along with the sketches from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge for years now and every week I'm inspired to create!  This week my cards are based on the following sketch:

The sketch was created by Michelle Stewart and digitized by Brandi Robinson.  

I hope you will come and play along with us!

See you next time!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #360

Hello friends!

Okay - I don't often play favorites, but THIS card right here is probably one of my most favorites that I have made in a long time!  I don't know if it's the leaves or the color combo - or the fact that it's so summery and light - but I just LOVE it!!! It's still out of my SCT Sampler Stashbuster project - so I can't even remember who made the paper line! But I adore it! The cardstock is Blushing Bride from Stampin' Up! - that I know for sure. Some CTMH Gold Shimmer Trim and Gold Gems were the perfect accents too.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #359

Hello friends!

This card was fun and easy breezy to make! A few stickers, a quick stamp and voila!  I love working through a stashbuster phase - you quickly forget all the cool things that you loved and previously purchased. I think in the craft world, we are soooo obsessed with what's new that we buy and buy and buy without truly creating with what we fell in love with and already have!  The NEW will always be there - I'm challenging you to go and use up some of what you already have.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #358

Hello friends!

My summer SCT Sampler theme continues! :) I modified my card slightly from the sketch by moving the centre piece down and adding a few gems.

Die Cut & Star Stampz Challenge with Creative Knockouts

Hello crafty friends!

It's time for a new challenge over at Creative Knockouts Challenge #339. Our theme this week is "Punches/Die Cuts and our sponsor is the amazing "Star Stampz".  I chose to work with a stamp set called "Spring Bumblebee” - she just too cute! Plus spring is around the corner, I just feel it!  I pulled out some older Tonic Studio dies to create this card. I kind of like this stashbusting trend I have going on - working with Digital Stamps is a great way to incorporate something new with physical supplies you already have. 

Here is what I created:

I hope to see you at the challenge! :)

Until next time,

Jess
